Werner Schlager, Chen Weixing, Robert Gardos, Daniel Habesohn, Li Qiangbing (all Austria), Joao Monteiro (Portugal), Mihai Bobocica (Italy), William Henzell (Australia), Matiss Burgis (Latvia), Noshad Alamiyan (Iran), Daniela Dodean (Romania)

- the summer Olympic Games in London (from 27 July) will also be running a show for the players of the (inter) national training group of Werner Schlager Academy in Schwechat.

On Wednesday, the table tennis draw was available in the British capital.  For the Academy’s eponymous leader, Werner Schlager, an extremely unpleasant composition: First, most likely awaiting him is the strong Italian and WSA-player Mihai Bobocica.  If Werner is successful here, his next opponent would be the multiple world champion and team Olympic champion Wang Hao (World number 2).

For Chen Weixing, the challenge will come from the Frenchman Adrien Mattenet.

Something like horror waits for SVS STRÖCK star Daniela Dodean. She would likely meet in round three the Chinese classified as untouchable Ding Ning. This individual is reigning world champion and world number one.
